Rusty Ring in Falmouth Ceiling Hints at Big Need for Water Clean Up By SERVPRO 

A Falmouth homeowner called on SERVPRO to perform water damage remediation in the home after a rusty, reddish ring formed on the ceiling. This event was due to storm damage to the roof of the Falmouth home that allowed water to run through the floor joists from the floor above into the ceiling below. SERVPRO techs know that by the time water damage appears on walls or ceilings, the interior of the wall cavity in the Falmouth structures is usually significantly wet. 

The Scale of the Water Damage Remediation Services Needed in the Falmouth Home

When SERVPRO techs arrived at the Falmouth property, the techs immediately went upstairs. They used their probes and moisture detection equipment to ascertain how much migration took place across the floor above caused by the ceiling leaks. The floor joists between the levels needed opening by SERVPRO techs around the rusty ring area on the ceiling, as seen in the Before Photo, to ensure that it could get dried completely.

Controlled Demo by SERVPRO Needed in the Falmouth Home 

Before SERVPRO techs could set up their drying equipment in the Falmouth property, they needed to remove the deteriorated ceiling building materials to dry the floor joists. When a Falmouth residential or commercial property requires controlled demolition actions. SERVPRO techs carefully remove the minimum amount of sheetrock needed so as little as possible needs to occur in the way of repairs after the water damage remediation services complete. SERVPRO technicians built a customized drying layout with the created plastic tubing to reach from the air mover into the ceiling, as seen in the After Photo. Surrounding the plastic tubing is more plastic taped down around the removed sheetrock to ensure the interior area of the ceiling gets dried completely.
